Elevate the Museum

Independence Historical Museum & Art Center launched the event called "Elevate the Museum", a Five-year Renovation Pledge Campaign.
The goal of the campaign is to raise funds to make the 100 year old building more accessible and safer to members and visitors.

The elevator Project has been started, which means the museum is a little harder to navigate. If you usually enter by the back door, be sure and call ahead
so the staff can lead you into the museum proper. That section of the museum is covered with plastic sheeting.

WI-FI

Wi-FI is now available in the museum for your use. You can research your family history or other research items.. You can bring your own computer, or use one of the computers available. The WIFI and the coffee bar are open during regular business hours.

Photo Club

They meet once a month - the second Thursday, at 5:30PM in the Museum. Read more about the club by clicking on the link for the photo club. If you would like to find out more, come to our next meeting. John and Rob would like to hear from you.
